FSC® Lead Auditor Training Course

Share:

Rainforest Alliance is holding an intensive 5-day lead auditor training course to familiarize professionals with the auditing process including the knowledge and skills of lead auditors for Forest Stewardship Council™ Forest Management (FM) and Chain of Custody (CoC) standards and auditing.

Who should attend

Individuals new to forestry and wood products auditing will come away with an in-depth understanding of FSC® standards and auditing requirements. The course also benefits seasoned auditors and those already involved in certification who wish to brush up on their auditing skills and deepen their understanding of the latest FM and CoC standards and systems.

Completion of this course meets Rainforest Alliance lead auditor ISO, as well as FM and CoC, training requirements for FSC® evaluations. Note that it will not result in a standalone ISO certificate and does not guarantee work as an auditor.
